COE-C1002 - Statics, Lecture, 22.10.2024-2.12.2024

Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After the course, the student will be able to:

  • Prepare accurate free-body diagrams for complex loading scenarios.
  • Analyse the equilibrium conditions of a particle.
  • Use equilibrium equations to find the support reactions and internal forces inside truss structures or beams.
  • Solve engineering problems involving equilibrium of a particle or rigid body.
